This year to ensure our robot could handle the task we chose to build it out of extruded aluminium, or T-slotted bars. This allowed us to quickly and easily customize our frame. without having to constantly drill holes through metal, but also gave us the strength to have our robot be lightweight so as to not tip over on the ramp.
Our robot uses a combination of things, including, but no limited to, magic, duct tape, a prayer and unicorn hair in order to function. It will pick up five (5) footballs and throw them into the V, allowing us to (hopefully) score points.
